Original subtitles

Hanzawa Naoki, Loan Section Chief at Osaka Nishi Branch Office of Tokyo Chuo Bank,

followed Branch Manager Asano's orders, and

secured a loan agreement of 500 million yen from Nishi Osaka Steel.

However, Nishi Osaka Steel, which outwardly appeared to be a company in good standing,

was actually window dressing its financial statements in order to hide its massive debts.

Immediately after getting a loan from the bank, it went into bankruptcy.

Hanzawa and the bank was cleanly cheated out of the 500-million yen loan.

Manager Asano was scheming to

shift the entire responsibility on Hanzawa alone.

However, Hanzawa confronted them head on,

and vowed to recover the 500 million yen

in order to clear his name.

That was the only way for Hanzawa

to survive as a banker.

4 hours after the hearing investigation

What do you think you're doing, Hanzawa?

I heard you said at the hearing that

you weren't responsible for the loan mishap!

The folks at Headquarters were obviously

trying to pin the responsibility of that

bad 500-million yen debt on us, Osaka Nishi Branch.

I merely told them in no uncertain terms that was not the case.

Our responsibility?!

I merely stated the truth.

There was a loss of 500 million because of your fault as Loan Section Chief.

Branch Manager Asano Tadasu

Assistant Branch Manager Ejima Hiroshi

The truth is nothing more nor nothing less than that!

Ejima-kun. He must have his own ideas.

However, after this incident,

I'd be hard pressed to say Headquarters has a very good opinion of you.

You'd better hurry if you want to clear your name.

Otherwise, I don't know much longer I can keep on sticking up for you.

Of course, I don't intend to let them unload all the responsibility

on our Branch without putting up a fight.

Please put your mind at ease, Manager Asano.

I never knew Nishi Osaka Steel was in this bad of a shape.

They sure did a good job of deceiving us.

It's hard even for us bankers to understand

President of the now bankrupt Takeshita Kogyo

Takeshita Kiyohiko

the flow of money with just 3 years worth of off-balance sheets.

Would you mind comparing them to your books?

That's no problem.

Is the situation that bad?

- What's the matter? - This is odd.

We didn't make all this money.

Our proceeds from Nishi Osaka Steel was about 500 million.

But it says they paid...

- 700 million. - 200 million disappeared somewhere.

Show me you books please!

Higashida's mistress Fujisawa Miki

Nishi Osaka Steel President

Higashida Mitsuru

Everything went as planned, huh?

As far as I can see from this, Higashida's been padding his books for at least 3 years.

In other words, he was steadily building up his stash over the past 3 years and

making preparations.

- Preparations? - More than likely, Nishi Osaka Steel's bankruptcy

was intentional.

If that's the case, the fact that they went bankrupt as if it was planned

right after they deceived us out of the 500 million yen loan, and

the fact that Taxation Bureau is on the move, all that makes sense.

Higashida was thinking about profiting, not by

rebuilding his company, but by intentionally making his company go bankrupt.

So, what does that mean?

Are you saying Higashida used me

to commit intentional bankruptcy fraud?

On top of that, he even made my company go belly up...

Does that mean the money he cheated me out of

is in his pocket?

Hanzawa-han.

I ain't an educated man.

Was it my fault for being so stupid

that I was deceived?

No.

It's the deceiver's fault.

That goes without saying, Takeshita-san.

Hanzawa-han.

Let me ask you once again.

Let's find Higashida and recover the money.

I'm the one

who's counting on your help, Shachou-han*!

(speaking in Osaka dialect)

- I have a favor to ask. - Yes?

Will you stop talking in that weird Osaka dialect?

Hanzawa's wife Hana

Present from Tokyo I asked you to get. Terra Saison's rusks.

Sorry.

I already said I'd bring them to the tea party tomorrow.

Hana-chan. Hana-chan...

Delicious! Hana-chan, this is amazingly good!

These cheap ones won't do.

I gotta go buy something else first thing tomorrow morning.

It's for the Assistant Manager's wife, right? Don't worry about it too much.

I have to! That's the rule around here.

Hana-chan.

Aren't you curious?

How the hearing went.

You did it again anyway, didn't you? I can tell by the look on your face.

That's why I'm trying to suck up to Mrs. Assistant Manager.

Since you're the way you are, Naoki, I have to do what I can to cover for you.

It's not a problem that can be resolved by something like that.

I know that.

But this is about the only thing I can do.

Because other than that, it's all on you...

I don't understand all this difficult stuff, but

whatever you do, don't lose!

I don't want you dragging me with you any farther than here.

Dragging with me...

I shouldn't have married a hard-headed banker.

Getting transferred all the time, moving all the time. Nothing good happens.

Higashida's whereabouts is still unknown. Currently, we're checking out

Osaka Regional Taxation Bureau

- address of his mistress, Fujisawa Miki. -Anything on the hidden stash?

There's one thing that caught my attention.

- What? - Last year on July 3rd,

50 million yen for unaccounted expenditure was withdrawn

from Nishi Osaka Steel's account at their main bank.

50 million?

That's a bit much for spending money.

Do a thorough investigation and find out what is was used for!

Chief, can you take a look at this?

Yamamura-san at Foreign Exchange found it.

- Higashida Mitsuru?! - Yes.

It's dated nearly a year ago.

- The payee is Higashi Asia Resort in the amount of... - 50 million?!

It looks like the money was transferred from his personal account at our bank.

He had a personal account with us when we weren't even his main bank?

Although it's closed now.

This Higashi Asia Resort

is a company that deals with real estate investment properties abroad.

Real estate investment? Does that mean Higashida

acquired a 50-million yen real estate overseas somewhere?

If we can seize that real estate,

it will be a big step forward to recovering our 500 million.

I'm going to go talk to this Higashi Asia Resort.

Hanzawa.

Put this together in a report

for the Branch Managers' meeting by day after tomorrow.

It's an order from Manager Asano.

Going after 500 million is fine, but

we can't have you slacking off on your normal duties.

- Let me do it. - Nakanishi.

If you have time to worry about others, go get a contract for a big loan or something.

Assistant Manager.

You guys too. Go visit the clients or something.

The subordinates are just like their section chief.

At the next personnel change, we'll have to consider reshuffling the whole section.

Why are they doing that...

If Chief can really recover the 500 million, it's not a bad thing for our branch too.

- How can they interfere... - Listen.

Manager's presuming that recovery is impossible, and,

to put it badly, he made a big deal at Headquarters that Chief was to blame.

Just think what'll happen if Chief recovers the 500 million despite that

and he's exonerated.

They'll ask what all that fuss was about and

- may hold the Manager accountable this time. - No way.

I suggest you keep a low profile for a while. If you assert yourself without thinking,

you'll get dragged into the mess...You too.

- Hello. - Hanzawa-han.

I found one. Just one, though.

Got it. I'll be right there. Where's this place?

In order to get an idea of how much money Higashida had stashed away,

Takeshita was checking Nishi Osaka Steel's subcontractors

one by one to see if there were any other companies like Takeshita Kinzoku

whose payments were being padded.

That was the company of a subcontractor called Awaji Kozai

whose chain reaction bankruptcy was caused by Nishi Osaka Steel.

Hanzawa-han. Over here.

I was shocked when Takeshita-san showed me the books.

I can't believe he was cheating 300 million over 3 years from us too.

I went to a few other places too, but

Akashi Bridge

Itabashi-han and I, who had a long-standing business relationship with him,

were the only ones Higashida was blatantly cheating.

He took advantage of our weakness and

mercilessly beat our cost down.

Despite that, we managed to hang on,

Awaji Kozai President Itabashi Heigo

but then they suddenly went bankrupt.

I can let that much go.

But to think they were doing such underhanded things behind our back.

I understand how you feel, Itabashi-han. I feel the same way.

Let's join forces and

try to get back what we can from Higashida.

You've got everything to gain, but nothing to lose.

All right.

- I'll do what little I can do to cooperate. - Itabashi-han.

If I can get the money back from Higashida, I'll do anything.

- Thank you. - We're heartened to hear that.

Let's get started right away. Can you take a look at this?

Apparently, Higashida bought an investment real estate somewhere abroad for 50 million.

50 million?!

Have you heard anything about it from Higashida?

A vacation home abroad?

No, that's news to me.

I see. If we only knew where it is,

we can seize it immediately.

After going bankrupt intentionally,

he's planning to live abroad in leisure, is he? That little shit Higashida!

No, I won't let him.

I'll track him down no matter what and

even if it's 50 million, I'll recover it without fail.

Malaysia, eh? Someplace like Cairns may be nice too.

East Asia Resort Development

They're both very popular.

Excuse me for asking, but how much are you planning to spend?

About 50 million.

In that case, you have a choice of some pretty nice real estate.

Incidentally, are you here on a referral from someone?

Yes. Nishi Osaka Steel's President Higashida.

- I see. - Speaking of which,

where did Higashida-san say bought some real estate.

Are you one of his creditors?

Ever since Nishi Osaka Steel went into bankruptcy,

we're getting an endless flow of creditors asking about President Higashida.

- No, I... - No matter who you are,

we cannot divulge our client's personal information.

It will reflect badly on our company's reputation. Please leave.

Hello.

- Did he show up? - Yes.

Did you turn him away tactfully?

He just left.

Higashida-san, please don't bring in too much trouble for me.

You're getting well-compensated for that, aren't you!

I'm expecting the value of that piece of real estate to go up.

There's no way I'm gonna let the bank take it.

Keep up the good work.

She said Hanzawa was there. Just as you said.

Seriously, I panicked when Takeshita and Hanzawa came.

When they confronted me out of the blue

with intentional bankruptcy and even that vacation home.

That was good thinking on your part that you said you'd cooperate.

Now we can see their every move.

While you're at it,

The complete set of documents related to us that he has,

find a chance to rip 'em off and destroy everything.

Like the off-balance sheets?

You never know when you might get tripped up from something like that.

Besides, if he gets found out now that he took out valuable documents and lost them,

he's finished as a banker.

Guys like that piss me off to no end.

I'm gonna choke the life outta him, I swear!

In regards to Higashida's unaccounted 50-million yen expenditure,

it apparently flowed somewhere through Tokyo Chuo Bank.

- Tokyo Chuo Bank? - Yes.

Around that time, Higashida

apparently had a personal account at Osaka Nishi Branch...

Sagami.

Then why was it overlooked last time?

I'm sorry. Since the account was already closed,

- it went unnoticed... - If you mess up again...

I'll crush you.

Tokyo Chuo Bank Main Office

Director Owada, Director Owada!

Why do I have to leave the bank?

What is this, Kurashima-kun. This is rude.

I heard you were working on HR to have me shipped out...

Send security to the hallway in the old wing.

Nakanowatari Faction's member from the old Tokyo Daiichi Bank

Kurashima Kenta

I can't leave behind my mother who needs care

and get transferred out to the countryside.

Please, Director. Please withdraw the transfer.

Please! Please! Please!

- Hey, enough... - Stop it.

I understand your predicament.

Kishitani-kun.

See if you can reconsider the transfer.

Really? Thank you!

Are you sure you're okay making a promise like that?

Withdrawing a personnel move that's already been decided is...

Besides, Kurashima is

- a key figure in Nakanowatari Faction. - Kishikawa-kun.

Why does something like this occur, where security guards have to be called?

I apologize.

He's getting dealt with because he caused a problem.

These things happen because he hasn't been made to understand his responsibility.

Please be thorough in the proper execution of your duties.

Director Kishikawa Shingo

Deputy Manager, Human Resources

Ogiso Tadao

I will handle it immediately.

Executive Director Owada Akira

Well, but still...

see if you can work something out so that

he doesn't have to go out in the country when he's transferred.

Taking care of the sick is a hard thing to do.

So, Ogiso-kun, what is it you wanted to talk about?

I wanted to talk to you about the 500-million yen loan mishap at Osaka Nishi Branch.

At the hearing investigation the other day, I heard

you were cleanly outdone by Chief Hanzawa.

I apologize.

And so?

I was hoping you could put in a word

with the personnel department as to his disciplinary measure.

I've left that matter entirely in Manager Asano's hands.

I don't think it's something I should meddle in right now.

But Director...this Hanzawa is an extremely irrational fellow.

According to his peers,

he's going around saying he's going to be the chairman.

I don't know if he doesn't realize his place or what.

Well, once a person becomes a banker,

aiming to be the chairman

is a natural thing, isn't it?

Good morning.

Oh, that's right. Here's the original I got from Odagiri Sangyo first thing in the morning.

- See if the seals match. - Will do.

"Get this done by today."

Ejima

Chief, how did it go yesterday? Did you find out anything about his real estate?

I was kicked out as soon as I mentioned Higashida's name. The client's personal...

It's the Taxation Bureau again. They just arrived downstairs.

Excuse us.

Move please.

Excuse us.

Well, well. Thank you for your hard work the other day.

There's additional data we want to look at. Please cooperate again.

- This way please. - Not necessary...Sagami!

I'm going to tell you the documents we want you to provide.

Personal Account Nos. 2658300 through 2658370.

2658300 through 370.

- These guys must've realized too. - Then the Taxation Bureau will take...

Does Yamamura have the original?

It's in the vault.

Surely you're not...

- You're progressing well. - Thank you.

Now then, General Affairs and Loan Sections...

Never mind!

It's a waste of time. We'll go get them ourselves. Where are they?

Please wait. 2 years' worth of records is quite a load.

- Can we get them ready for you? - Don't mind us.

Or is there some kind of inconvenience for you?

- No. - Hey, Nakanishi.

- Show them to the vault immediately! - Yes.

- Kakiuchi, the personal account records! - Yes.

The vault is in the back. It's faster to take the hallway downstairs.

It may be bothersome, but please go down again. This way please.

Hey, why go down...

Let them go. They said they want to go themselves.

Let's have them take the longest route possible.

This way please.

Kakiuchi, I have a favor to ask.

We're going this way. Does anyone need to use the restroom?

- Just show us the way! - Yes.

Where is it?

It's the one furthest in the back.

Hurry up and unlock it.

You can stay here.

- Is it here? - Yes.

Chief...

Doing that behind Taxation Bureau's back,

if they find out, you'll be in deep trouble.

In any case, it's sink or swim for me.

What happened here.

One invoice number here is missing.

- Hey, Yamamura. - That's impossible...

- Such careless control is unacceptable! - I'm sorry.

Forget it. Where's the account records?

Well, apparently, there's been a system error since this morning,

and we were told it will take a while to restore.

Why, at an important time like this.

You guys,

what are you trying to hide?

We would never hide anything from you.

Where's that Loan Section Chief?

He went out on a business he had to attend to.

- This is his desk, isn't it? - What are you doing!

This is part of the investigation too!

Excuse me, but did Hanzawa do something...

I'll make an exception and tell you.

What we're pursuing is Nishi Osaka Steel and

Higashida's enormous amount in tax evasion.

It's a secret.

Submit the account records today.

If you don't, I'll report this matter to

the Financial Services Agency.

- Regional Taxation Bureau? - That's why we don't have much time anymore.

If we don't track down Higashida's property,

- the Taxation Bureau will take it all. - Can't you do something about it?

Banks can't defy the Taxation Bureau.

Are there any new leads?

Everyone's on their guard.

As soon as I mention his name, they all clam up.

Seems to me he's forestalling us.

Hanzawa-san.

Can you let me see all the documents concerning Higashida once?

There may be a clue leading to the vacation home abroad.

Let's give it our best shot, even if the possibility is remote.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll go back once and ask my former employees

if they know anything about Higashida.

All right. Let's meet here again at 5:00 pm.

I'll see you later.

It's gonna be tough if we only have today.

Hanzawa-han, do you have some other leads?

What? The Taxation Bureau's become aware?

They're going to make a move soon.

If they do, that vacation home will be confiscated too!

Quit your whining. Don't worry.

You agreed to hand over that vacation home to me

if I cooperated with you.

You told me I could live in comfort abroad. That's why

I went along with your padding of the books and intentional bankruptcy.

Calm down now. That aside,

did you get rid of all the documents those guys have?

I'm supposed to get them at 5:00 pm at Takeshita's place.

5:00 pm. Get rid of them ASAP.

The vacation home... You sure it's safe?

Of course.

What?

Are you alive? Hanzawa-kun on the edge.

Sorry, but I don't have time to talk to you. I'm hanging up.

Hey, did something happen?

Somewhere abroad? A piece of real estate in Higashida's name?

Hey, you gotta get a hold of that property.

Don't make it sound so easy. There's nothing I can do if I don't know where it is.

Hey, listen. After you went crazy at the hearing investigation,

naturally, there were talks of what to do with you.

Headquarters Loan Section Tomari Shinobu

Osugi and his cohorts

were in a huff and demanded your immediate transfer, but

but there was someone who stopped that.

Who was it~?

Director Owada.

He's a man with quite the spine, this Hanzawa-kun.

Along with his ambition to rise in the world,

he has the combination of skill, intelligence, and grit to easily defeat you in argument.

Whether he can actually recover the 500 million or not,

I'm personally looking forward to it.

Don't you guys don't feel that way?

This tailwind is your golden opportunity. Think about it,

the top gun of us bankers from the old Sangyo Chuo stood up for you.

Hey, do you realize? If you can recover even 50 million,

Director Owada might help you.

I'm not so sure. Tailwind often change to headwind all of a sudden.

Exactly. That's why you've got to hurry.

Do whatever it takes to show results while

Director Owada's still interested in you.

- Are you listening? - Say,

how's Kondo doing?

Is he all right?

He's temporarily at HR right now.

His place of loan will be decided soon.

"Cell, as it's commonly called"

A room where employees who committed embezzlement,measures.

loan mishaps, and sexual or power harassment are

confined while awaiting disciplinary measures.

Day after day, he's confined to the cell, and

ordered to make meaningless rosters.

I swear, they have no shame.

Hanzawa, you're in no position right now to be worrying about others.

You're aiming for the top, aren't you?

Then don't think about anything else.

You'll have to survive for Kondo too.

Of course, that's what I intend to do.

Indeed, Director Owada's whims are very annoying.

In any case, it's impossible for Hanzawa to recover the 500 million, but

it wouldn't do to set a bad example by delaying his disciplinary action.

Exactly.

And so, Ogiso-kun,

what do you think about conducting a discretionary on-site inspection in the near future?

Discretionary on-site inspection...I see.

Here's Nishi Osaka Steel's file and a copy of the detailed account transactions you asked for.

Sorry to trouble you. It's a hassle if Manager finds out.

Chief, we're submitting Higashida's account records to the Taxation Bureau by 8 o'clock.

4 more hours. That's the limit for putting them off.

Got it.

Kakiuchi. If someone says something to you about this,

Go ahead and them I'm to blame.

Thank you.

However, I don't believe those words.

This is a bank, after all.

The supervisor takes credit for his subordinate's good deed.

The subordinates takes responsibility for his supervisor's blunder.

You know that the best.

That's for sure.

But

that's not how I want to be.

This is everything we have on Higashida and Nishi Osaka Steel.

I'll take a look.

There are important documents here that we have to submit to the Taxation Bureau by 8 o'clock.

- Can you go through them immediately? - Will do.

I'll take a careful look over there.

Please.

We don't have much time left.

It pisses me off, but we may have to hand it over to the Taxation Bureau this time.

We'll just have to hope that Higashida has more stashed away someplace else.

What happened!

Hey, are you okay?

53-88�

Was it one of Higashida's men?

Probably...

At any rate, I'm going back to the bank now and deal with the Taxation Bureau.

The license plate number of the bike. Please give it to the police.

All right.

I'm really sorry.

The opponent was one step ahead of us. That's all.

- Hanzawa-han... - If you'll excuse me now.

You idiot! Didn't I tell you to come at 5:15?

You were 10 minutes early.

And pushing me with all your strength besides.

I had to get three stitches!

- I'm sorry. - Here.

Get outta my sight.

Idiot!

What are you burning, Itabashi-san?

- Why are you here? - We're asking what you're burning!

They're nothing. Just some personal stuff.

You expect us to believe that?

That's stretching it, you traitor.

First time I felt something was wrong

was when you presumed Higashida's real estate abroad

was a vacation home and called it as such.

Apparently, Higashida bought an investment real estate somewhere abroad for 50 million.

A vacation home abroad...

Even though I only said investment real estate abroad,

what you said wasn't golf course or property, but vacation home.

Isn't because you knew about that piece of real estate?

That was just coincidental.

- Next, the taxi. - Taxi?

Earlier in the day, you took a taxi home from Takeshita-san's plant, didn't you?

How much was the fare?

It was probably more than 10,000 yen.

I find it hard to believe that someone

whose company went bankrupt and has debts would waste money like that.

Old habits die hard. I did it without thinking.

You have an account

in your son's name at our Sannomiya Branch, don't you?

An amount much too large for a grade school child

was deposited on May 16th.

Nishi Osaka steel deposited the money immediately before it went bankrupt.

That proves clearly that you're connected to Higashida.

Now then, Itabashi,

you're gonna fess up everything you know.

First, where did Higashida buy his vacation home?

And where is he now?

Who knows.

What can a mere banker do at this point in time?

Those very valuable documents

have all gone to ashes.

You, as a banker,

are finished too.

Were you talking about these documents?

That was pretty sneaky of you, Hanzawa-han.

I was fooled too.

I would've never guessed those documents you gave him were fake.

That can't be...

Does your family know about this, Itabashi?

It's true. About the only thing a mere banker can do is trace the flow of money.

That's why I'm gonna thoroughly investigate the flow of your filthy money, and

tell your family everything.

- Wait, please. - Of course,

I'll have to tell the employees who were working here unaware of all this.

When they find out you were lining your own pocket

behind the scene while they lost their job,

I'm sure they'd all be thrilled.

Because now they have a reason to live called revenge.

And after that, I'll report you to the police.

With unassailable evidence.

Okay, I get it, so please stop.

Everything, I'll tell you everything.

Higashida bought his vacation home

on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

The exact location and the address of the maintenance company are written here.

Where's Higashida now?

I really don't know.

After the company went bankrupt, we only met outside or

kept in touch by phone.

Then call him right now and find out where he is.

If you can't find out by morning, I'm gonna expose everything you did.

Sir! We just received Higashida's account records from Tokyo Chuo.

What took so long!

Here it is...50 million.

So this is the loot the bank was trying to hide, huh?

Tomari, there's something I want you to work on right away.

Did you find out the location of Higashida's real estate?

Hawaii? Give me more details.

I'll e-mail you the specifics afterward.

All right. I know the chief of the Legal Department well.

Let's see, time difference with Hawaii is 19 hours, right?

He might still be there. I'll go take a look.

Thanks. The Taxation Bureau will be on the move too.

Do whatever you can to seize it first.

Takeshita-san.

I'm getting hungry, aren't you?

Hanzawa-han.

I'm...not so sure about you anymore.

I'm thinking that maybe you're actually a terribly evil guy.

Just kidding.

But it doesn't matter if you are.

No one in this world is completely righteous, right?

Listen, Naoki.

The most important thing is people to people relationship.

You can't work like a robot, you hear?

Osaka Regional Taxation Bureau.

We'd like to ask you some questions. Don't move!

Sir! Higashida's property is in Hawaii on Oahu!

Contact the local authorities immediately!

- How did it go? - We seized it.

You did it, Hanzawa.

- 50 million will be recovered. - We'll recover it.

The Legal Department Chief is working out the details with the local authorities.

You escaped by the skin of your teeth.

- I owe it to you. - Don't mention it. Treat me next time.

I'll rent out the whole place.

Sorry, I got another call.

Did you say they beat us to it?

Check this out on the double!

- This is... - Hurry!

Sir!

We tracked down Higashida.

2-3-11 Suma Kaigan, Kobe.

It's the huge house by the beach.

You'll know when you get there.

All right, let's all meet there.

Got it. I'm on my way.

We found out where Higashida is. I'll be back.

Where do you think you're going?

We found out where Higashida's staying. I'm going to go get him.

No matter how you flounder, it's too late already.

More importantly, did you finish what I asked you to do?

More importantly?

I told you they were material for today's Branch Managers' meeting.

Are they done or not? Which is it?

I'm sorry.

The meeting starts in the afternoon. Get started on it right now.

- However, it's... - This is an order!

Chief!

Please check the material for the Branch Managers' meeting today.

Mine too. The profit progress data you asked for.

Please check it over.

I put yesterday's files together as well.

Assistant Manager, there's no problem now, is there?

Chief, weren't you scheduled to visit the clients today?

Please go.

Thanks.

Hanzawa-han.

Get out.

Yes?

It's Itabashi.

Is the front door opened?

It's a good thing I dumped them. Both that house and Itabashi.

I almost got tracked down.

What awful people.

This house is a little smaller though.

I'm glad I listened to your advice.

Hanzawa-han. No one's upstairs.

Looks like he got away again.

Seriously, you keep flitting around here and there, here and there, here and there.

You're an eyesore, Loan Section Chief Hanzawa-san.

Because of your needless meddling,

he got away again.

How are you going to make up for this?

You got here first, didn't you?

Wasn't there a problem with the way you carried out your business?

Shut your mouth!

Ours is an honorable job protecting the taxpayers' precious money.

We have no reason to be criticized by you bankers who

collect money solely for your self-interest.

You folks are nothing more than filthy money lenders.

Please, please wait. Please give me some time.

You're absolutely right.

However, until I recover 500 million from Higashida,

I have no intention of backing down.

I wonder how long you can maintain that confidence.

- What's up? - Hanzawa, I'm sorry.

The property in Hawaii got taken away by the Taxation Bureau.

What happened?

That bastard Kurosaki threatened the Legal Department Chief with something he had on him.

- Legal Department Chief Ohta? - Yes.

The restaurant operated by your son...

There's a rumor it has a large amount of undeclared income.

- What? - You understand, don't you?

Hand it over to me! Hawaii.

Don't resent me.

This is our job.

I don't resent you.

However...

I'll double the payback and return it to you.

If you screw me, I'll screw you back.

It's double payback!

That's my way of doing things.
